Nile Rodgers & Chic will play live at Franklin's Gardens in Northampton this summer.
Music Plus Sport & Northampton Saints have announced Chic as the next headliners in their summer season of concerts.
They will play the venue on Sunday, June 30.
Nile Rodgers is truly exceptional. He amplifies his legacy as a multiple GRAMMY-winning composer, producer, arranger and guitarist by constantly traversing new musical terrain and successfully expanding the boundaries of popular music.
As the co-founder of CHIC, Rodgers pioneered a musical language that generated chart-topping hits like “Le Freak,” sparked the advent of hip-hop with “Good Times,” and won CHIC 11 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominations.His work in the CHIC Organization and his productions for artists like David Bowie (incl. ‘Lets Dance’), Diana Ross (incl. ‘Upside Down’, ‘I’m Coming Out’) and Madonna (incl. ‘Material Girl’, ‘Like A Virgin’) have sold over 300 million albums and 50 million singles worldwide while his innovative, trendsetting collaborations with Daft Punk, Avicii, Sigala, Disclosure and Sam Smith reflect the vanguard of contemporary music.
Saints chief executive Mark Darbon said: “Nile Rodgers is a music legend and we are thrilled to be welcoming him to Franklin’s Gardens later this summer. I have no doubt that he will put on a superb evening’s entertainment.
“Franklin’s Gardens is not just the home of Northampton Saints, but an excellent multi-use venue which is well suited to host events of this scale.
“We’re all really looking forward to a very special night.”
Simon Halden, MD and Co-Founder of promoters Music Plus Sport added: “We are thrilled to bring the legendary Nile Rodgers & CHIC to Franklin’s Gardens for what will no doubt be a highlight of the summer alongside Madness. The stadiums crowds have a great atmosphere for the rugby and im sure it will be no different for these two iconic acts.”
